Description
Begin your journey in Manukaya Village, where the legendary battle between Dewa Indra and King Mayadenawa took place. Learn about the sacred history of this place, rooted in one of Bali’s most important spiritual myths. Discover how Dewa Indra created the holy spring Tirta Empul to revive his soldiers, a powerful symbol of purification, life, and spiritual renewal in Balinese Hindu tradition. Next, visit the Tirta Empul Temple, one of Bali’s most sacred water temples. Join locals and visitors in performing purification rituals (melukat) in the holy spring, surrounded by lush landscapes and ancient traditions. Feel the spiritual energy of this place, a living link between myth, history, and the spiritual heart of Bali. Continue to Mancingan Rice Terrace, where lush green rice fields stretch across gentle hills in classic terraced formations. Managed by local farmers using the traditional Subak irrigation system, this area reflects the harmony between nature, community, and spirituality. Stroll along the narrow paths, enjoy fresh countryside air, and admire the daily farming activities that have shaped Balinese life for centuries. Finally, experience the authentic charm of Umah Bali Kuno, a traditional Balinese house that reflects ancient architecture, local wisdom, and daily village life. Built according to Balinese philosophy and ancestral traditions, the house offers a glimpse into how Balinese families have lived for generations. Surrounded by a lush coffee plantation, this visit combines culture and nature in perfect harmony. Walk through the plantation to learn about local coffee, herbal plants, and traditional processing methods, followed by a relaxing coffee and tea tasting featuring Balinese coffee and natural spices.Includes
